GoPro Alternatives

[KS63]

I got a ContourGPS back in the day and it is still going strong and I'm still sporting it.
Mainly used with mt biking but also shooting, scuba diving and strapping it to the dog.
When the GPS version came out I thought that contour had a leg up on gopro with the bluetooth to the iphone option but gopro has caught up with them on that area.
I find that a lot of mt bikers/road bikers/dirt bikers really like the compact size of the contour BUT the gopro wins hands down with the chesty mount if you want that. I haven't stayed up on the latest/greatest but gopro's hero3 black shoots extremly fast if you are looking for slow motion.
I looked heavily at DRIFT but it was to bulky IMHO.

When i shoot, I have a mount ziptied to the top of my hearing protection:
I have seen others use a hat mount setup where it mounts to the side of a standard baseball cap. If you have non-headset style hearing protection.

Thanks, Muddy. Hope Contour gets revived as I'll re-buy one. A QD 1913 rail mount was attractive with this camera.

Does that software work on an Apple Computer?

Not sure. You can download it from the GoPro website. They should have a version for you iGeeks. Between the head strap mount, chest mount, nods mount, and all the other mounting options (I had a shoulder mount made for my armor), it can go just about everywhere and I can control it from an iPhone if I want.

Hope Contour comes out I have one of their earlier HD and wanted a newer Bluetooth one so I can make changes with my phone. I use an old camping head flashlight webbing to hold it at the side of my head. They now have come out with an adapter for a baseball hat but mine is more secure.

I use mine when upland hunting. I also have one of their rail holders for my ar.

Funny I could have sworn Daniel Defense was running black Friday sales for the Contour. Yep checked email and I did get a black Friday special for those cameras.

This is a solid option for $99 shipped if you don't want a GoPro.

About 3 years ago, I made a mistake by going with iKAM. Gopro was one of the option hunter magazine had too, but I just liked the sunglasses+video feature. However, ikam video is a low quality resolution.
